4 1 Introduction 1.1 (the Trust / NTW) is committed to supporting the continuous development of all its employees through learning and development which is also recognised as being key to delivering the Government s vision of patient centred care in the NHS. Lifelong learning is about growth and opportunity, and the Trust wants to ensure that staff and the teams they work in, can acquire new knowledge and skills, both to realise their potential and to help shape and develop our services. 2 Purpose / Scope 2.1 This Policy sets out the framework for the management of study leave and continuous professional development arrangements within the Trust including associated administration and financial implications. It applies to all directly employed staff within the Trust, excluding trainee grade doctors, psychology trainees and secondees to nurse training who are governed by separate guidelines. It aims to promote and encourage equal and flexible access to learning and development opportunities across all staff groups, regardless of job role, hours worked or shift patterns, gender, age, disability, religion and beliefs, sexual orientation and / or race. Temporary staffs are welcome to attend any in-house programmes relevant to their role. 2.2 The Policy covers access to a range of training / development opportunities including: External Study Leave; Internal Study Leave; Health Education North East funded CPD Programmes External Study Leave may be funded or unfunded Internal Study Leave will be booked and attendance monitored by the Trust Electronic Staff Records System. Required internal training to meet statutory, mandatory, service and role requirements can be found in the Trust Training Needs Analysis on individual dashboards. 2.3 It is acknowledged that each profession has its own mandatory training requirements in order to maintain the required professional registration. 1

5 3 Duties, Accountabilities and Responsibilities 3.1 The Executive Director of Workforce and Organisational Development will be responsible for seeking the approval of the Policy via the Policy Sub Committee and for monitoring its implementation and review. 3.2 The Deputy Director of Workforce will be responsible for ensuring consultation, review and implementation of the Policy in practice, liaising with directorates, professional and staff representatives and for monitoring and reporting on study leave activity, via the Workforce Training and Development Sub Committee to enhance the organisation s ability to make maximum use of its resources. 3.3 The Head of Training will be responsible for ensuring that appropriate central administration, recording and reporting systems are in place for all learning and development activities. 3.4 Business Group s Suitability of Staff Committees will ensure all staff are trained to meet the requirements of their role and report areas of concern to the Workforce Training and Development Sub Committee. 3.5 Business Groups should make bids for training to be funded from the central training budget and CPD Tier 2 funding, based on identified needs around service development or through identification on appraisal. 3.6 Individual development to meet role and personal development needs is key for all staff. Fairness involves making sure that all staff can access development opportunities of some kind in line with their PDPs. Particular care should be taken to ensure that part time staff, those with carer responsibilities and those working shift patterns have access to learning opportunities. 3.7 All individual members of staff are responsible for their own learning and development. Where staff have continuing professional development (CPD) requirements which need to be recorded as evidence of CPD, it is the individual s responsibility to maintain his / her own CPD records. 3.8 Requests for funded external training should be made via their Manager, to be met from their service budgets. Where a number of staff require the same development a bid could be made as in 3.5 (above), for support to deliver a bespoke programme. 3.9 Requests for Health Education North East Funded CPD Programmes at Higher Education Institutions is covered by associated PGN (SL-PGN-01). 2

6 4 Definitions of Terms Used 4.1 Study Leave 41.1 The term study leave covers those periods of time when a member of staff is absent from his or her normal workplace to attend a learning event. An application is required if it is an external course, conference, seminar or workshop i.e. not organised by the Trust or, organised by the Trust but requiring funds to go to an external body. This must have the purpose of developing knowledge or skills which are a requirement of the role and will also be of benefit to the service. Study leave should therefore link directly to an individual s personal development plans. agreed as part of the appraisal process external Applications for external study leave will need to be accompanied by a statement from the Manager that the event meets needs identified as part of their personal development plan or is a role or service essential requirement. Managers will also be asked to confirm the individual is currently up to date with required mandatory and service / role essential training. 4.2 Financial Support Financial Support is the funding of a training or development activity by the Trust be that in full or part. Groups, Directorates, Line Managers and professional leads currently manage and fund the cost of the paid or unpaid study leave out of their overall budgets. The Trust does have a small centrally held budget used for the purchase of cross Trust training interventions to meet strategic needs. 4.3 Individual Responsibility or Personal Development It is the individual s responsibility to ensure they are up-to-date with regards to their CPD; Career development loans are now available to support individuals to undertake personal development In-house Training A Study Leave Form is not required to attend in-house programmes advertised in the Trust Training Prospectus. Booking for these courses is made by or phone and registers signed on the day of the course will be used to update an individual s personal training record. 4.5 Multi-Agency Training Some essential training is offered on a multi-agency basis e.g. Safeguarding Children Training offered by each of our six partner local authorities for staff in their localities. 3

7 A Study Leave Application Form is not required for this training but the Trust does need evidence of completion of such training. Staff should be reminded to note that they are NTW staff on any attendance registers and to present completion certificates to their Managers (copies to Training and Development) as a record of attendance. 4.6 Official Duty There is often confusion between what is classified as study leave and what is official duty / other types of leave. Study leave does not include: Visits to other NHS Trusts, or external organisations to observe systems, equipment etc., which is directly relevant to the role of the employee, but which is not deemed as personal development; Officially recognised meetings with counterparts in other Trusts and visits to exhibitions; Attendance as a member of officially recognised working parties concerning subjects beneficial to the NHS Official duty claims will be paid through the normal expenses procedure and charged to the appropriate department and rather than study leave budgets. 5 Approval of Document 5.1 The Policy will be approved by the Policy Sub Committee on behalf of the Trust Board. 6 Policy Administrative Process 6.1 Considering the Request for Study Leave The majority of training and development needs should be agreed and identified through the Trust s Staff Appraisal Policy / Process - NTW(HR)09 and should reflect the priorities of the Trust and / or service and the individual s objectives and development requirements e.g. for professional practice development Where the learning or development need is of benefit to the service, then paid time off to attend should be considered. 4

8 6.1.3 Before granting study leave with financial assistance the Manager should be satisfied that: The particular course or conference is of sufficient benefit to the employee concerned and to the efficiency of the department, and ultimately the Trust; The cost of the course or conference is not excessive in relation to its value for development purposes; Individuals attending courses and conferences have the ability to benefit personally and to disseminate information to colleagues on their return; The amount of paid study leave previously granted to the employee concerned (particularly with conferences), is not excessive in relation to others; The proposed representation of Trust employees and disciplines at the event / course is not excessive. Where more than one individual is attending a course / seminar a clear rationale should be given for supporting more than one individual If satisfied a study leave form confirming the agreement should be sent to Training and Development for recording on the individuals training record along with a copy of the bonding agreement (Appendix 5). 6.2 Levels of Support a General Guide Training resources like other NHS expenditure require a thorough and systematic approach be taken in considering the amount of support which can be offered. All training requests must be judged taking into account service training priorities and plans. However, as training resources are limited and must be allocated to ensure equity, there may be occasions when a specific training request is postponed or refused due to other priorities. 6.3 Funding / Time Back may be granted for the following (see Appendix 2) Course, seminar and conference fees; Registration / exam fees (however, payment of re-sitting exams will be negotiable); Travelling expenses (paid as per Section 17 Agenda for Change Handbook); 5

9 Time back for time spent on required mandatory, role essential and approved training in excess of the normal working day including excess travel time; NTW(HR)23 Subsistence allowances (accommodation and meals) Where staff are paid or given time back due to attending training, that payment will not be enhanced but will be the equivalent hours shift that they would have been working. 6.4 Payment / Time Back will not be made in respect of: Social events associated with a seminar/conference, where the cost exceeds the nominal amount usually payable for an evening meal; Costs of books associated with a programme of study; The payment of registration fees to professional bodies; Travel time and travel costs to day release courses; Excess travel time to non-essential training. 6.5 Reimbursement and Recovery of Expenses All associated costs should be included on the Application Form including course fees, estimated travel expenses (including estimated mileage and taxi fares where appropriate), and any overnight stays required. Failure to include all costs could mean the non-reimbursement of expenses Expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with the recommendations in the Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions Handbook. A summary of these are detailed below in Section 6.6 Subsistence and Section Travel: 6.6 Subsistence Night Allowances (first 30 nights) Actual receipted cost of bed and breakfast up to a maximum of Meals Allowance Per 24 hour period:

10 Night allowances in non-commercial accommodation (e.g. staying with friends / relatives) Per 24 hour period: only. Day Meals Subsistence Allowances Lunch Allowance (more than five hours away from base, including the lunchtime period between p.m. to 2.00 p.m.) 5.00 Evening Meal Allowance (more than ten hours away from base and return after 7.00 p.m.) Full details of current allowances can be found in the Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions Handbook available via Travel The following travel can be reimbursed Taxi fares where public transport is not available, convenient, or cost and time effective Tube / bus fares where necessary; Mileage incurred as part of a car journey, which will be reimbursed in line with Section 17 of the Agenda For Change Handbook as is the norm for study leave travel Expenses will not be reimbursed for the following: Any alcoholic beverages; Any incidental expenses incurred i.e. newspapers, telephone, internet charges etc All receipts must be included along with the completed expenses claim form in order for reimbursement to be made Claims will be signed by the budget holder / authorised signatory and passed to Payroll for processing. 6.8 Time off With / Without Pay Individuals and Line Managers should discuss and agree beforehand if time off to attend an event will be paid. 7

11 6.8.2 Time will normally be paid to attend a course which will be of benefit to the Trust as well as the individual. For study leave which will have a greater personal development to the individual rather than the Trust, it may be an expectation that the individual attends in their own time In either case, clear agreement must be made between the individual and Line Manager before the study leave takes place. 6.9 Repayment of Financial Assistance Where a service or department has met the costs of training for a member of staff, staff should sign a bonding agreement (Appendix 5) which applies to study which leads to acquiring a recognised professional technical or vocational qualification, diploma, degree, certificate including post graduate study. In event of resignation or termination of the employment within two years of either commencing the course or completing a course, or the event of non-completion of the qualification, the employee agrees that she / he will repay the Trust any financial assistance that has been given. Repayment for all funding received for these types of courses for staff leaving the organisation on completion (or partial completion if still actively studying) will be as follows: Staff leaving within 12 months - full amount 18 months - 50% months - 25% The requirement to repay funding received will not apply in cases of termination on the grounds of ill health, redundancy or retirement. 7 Identification of Stakeholders 7.1 The Policy reflects the arrangements for study leave which have been harmonised across the Trust.
